Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 9/26/2008 |
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed gifted education regulation changes. I strongly believe that funds designated for gifted education should only be used for those purposes; therefore, I disagree with the proposal to rescind text pertaining to the specific use of DOE funds specifically for gifted education. Also, I favor the submission of a 5-year plan rather than an annual plan as this allows for efficiencies, monitoring, and better strategic planning. Lastly, for purposes of specialized awareness of gifted education, I favor continued oversight by DOE rather than local school boards.
